Photo : Star Anise
Got the recipe from a friend who is studying chinese medicine. In case swine flu comes around and you cannot get hold of Tamiflu, no harm trying. Tamiflu may run out very quickly given that the manufacturers need about 3-4 months to produce them.
Star anise is a spice ingredient used in chinese cooking and it is cheap in Malaysia to buy them, so no harm trying out.
Use 9 star anise, 6 cups of water, boil in earthern pot if possible or else avoid steel/metal pot.
Boil for about 30-40 mins until about 4 cups left. Drink twice daily over the flu period. Above volume good for 2 adults per day.
To add flavour, add couple of red dates (remove seed before boiling).
